RISE
noredirect/Yoko Kanno Lyrics

I'm a soldier, znachit ya
I am a soldier, meaning that I am a defender and protector of others.

I otvyetchik I sud'ya
I am responsible for justice and judgment, holding myself accountable for my actions.

Ya stoyu na dvukh kontsakh ognya
I stand amidst two opposing forces, balancing the fire of passion and the fire of destruction.

Ogibaya virazhi, obgonyaya smyert' I zhizn'
I am able to express myself through my experiences, overcoming both life and death.

Ya byegu srazit'sya s tyen'yu lzhi
I run to fight against the shadow of lies and deceit, always seeking the truth.

Skol'ko be nityey nye plyol obman
No matter how many times I have been betrayed, I do not succumb to deception and false promises.

Pokazhyet lik svyeta istina
The face of truth always shines forth, revealing itself in the light of day.

Save your tears For the day When our pain is far behind
Do not cry now, for there will come a day when our suffering will be a distant memory.

On your feet Come with me We are soldiers stand or die
Rise up and join me, for we are warriors who will stand our ground no matter what.

Save your fears Take your place Save them for the judgement day
Put aside your fears for now, hold your position, and wait for the day of reckoning.

Fast and free Follow me Time to make the sacrifice We rise or fall
Swiftly and with abandon, follow my lead as we make the ultimate sacrifice together. Our fate will be decided on this day.

I'm a soldier, born to stand In this waking hell, I am Witnessing more than I can compute Pray myself we don't forget
I was born to be unyielding in the face of horror, watching in disbelief as things beyond my imagination unfold before me. I hope I will never forget the horror I've seen.

Lies, betrayed and the oppressed Please give me the strength to be the truth
As I fight alongside those who have been lied to, betrayed, and oppressed, please grant me the strength to be faithful to the truth.

People facing the fire together If we don't, we'll lose all we have found
We all face great danger together - if we fail to stand as one, all that we have fought for will be lost.

Za myechtoyu nakray propasti Lish' tol'ko tak mozhno mir spasti
Only by sacrificing everything for what we believe in can we truly save the world.

Ty nye plach', Slyozy spryach', Ved' nastanyet novyy den'
Do not cry now, hide your tears, for a new day will come.

Tvoy ogon' Sogryevat' Budyet tysyachi syerdets A syeychas podnimis' Spryach' podal'shye bol' I strakh
Your fire will warm thousands of hearts, but for now, rise up, and hide your pain and fear for the battle ahead.

Pobyedit tot, kto prav Znay, chto vsyo v tvoikh rukakh
The winner will be the one who is right. Know that everything is in your hands.
